I would put in some bleach and clothes that can handle it without damage and run a wash cycle. Leave the door open when you are done using the machine, or at least un-latched. There are commercial products, but bleach will do the same thing. You have stuff growing on the gizzards inside the drum, and bleach will likely kill them. They like dark & humid places.. guess what... that's your washer with the door kept latched.

Front loaders are known for building up mold and the smell.It's caused by using liquid detergent which is made from animal fat. Use powder. And use the minimum amount. It's caused by using fabric softener. Dilute it 50/50 with water. It's caused by the water remaining in the tub between washes. Leave the door open to allow it to dry. .Pull the rubber door seal back and clean the mold off . Affresh is recommended by some manufacturers. You run it through a wash cycle with it.

If the standing water is your fabric softener you'll have to clean it out to unstop it so it will drain. Here's a DIAGRAM which may help with the cleaning.

Take off the round agitators one at a time, by popping off the center cap and use a hex driver to remove the screw. Tilt out aggitator, and clean back of agitator, hyousing and gear box of the moldy/mildew build up..its kinda gross. That is where the stink comes from.

The mold is common with the front loaders all you can do about the mold is wipe out the water that is in the gasket after a wash and leave the door open. DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN WITH BLEACH. The bleach will make the gasket weak and cause it to rip and then cause a leak.

Hi, The problem you are having is from mold and mildew. This is caused due to it being an HE washer (high efficiency). They use very little water and have a super tight sealing system. Maytag came up with a solution for it. Its called Affresh. It is an oxygenating tablet that literally eats the mold and mildrew. Its a good product. You have to use it on a regular basis to keep the stink and mildew away. You can get it on line at www.affresh.com.
